When I asked one of the Gps at my surgery what was better to have Low blood sugar or high cholesterol, (my cholesterol is really high and I don't want to take statins) he basically said that low blood sugar is much better and that whilst they would recommend LDL lowering medication if I didn't want to take it, it was up to me. I hope that your cholesterol is fine, I will be routing for you.Thanks @ziggy_w . This really is informational indeed. I knew from the literature I have read that LCHF and fasting can show slightly elevated cholesterol levels but the same literature also says that the overall balance between good and bad cholesterol is tilted in favour of good cholesterol which in turn is actually good news specially when combined to the fact that my sugar level is far better controlled now than it has ever been. I will as a result of your tip be better prepared when I go into conversation with DN. She is a very nice person and is generally open to ideas so long as there is positive change which to be honest I am hoping I will have plenty this time round, fingers crossed.
